SodaStream

What is your drink of choice? Well what is your non alcoholic drink of choice? I bet most of you all said pop/softdrink. I know most of the time that is what my choice would be. I love Mountain Dew! But with trying to watch my weight that isn’t a great choice for me to make.

I have switched to diet and that right there just isn’t the same. After I got used to it it was alright. But switching over does take some hard work and devotion on your part.

Then I heard about this fantastic new machine. One that would save me money, let me be in control what I put in my drink, and still give me that cool sweet satisfaction that my forbidden carbonated drink of choice provided before.

Do you know where I am going with this?

The machine I am talking about is called “Soda Stream” After learning more about the machine I wanted to try this! I wanted to share with all my readers my thoughts on this miracle worker in the drink world.

I was extremely happy when Soda Stream sent me a free machine to review as well as all the bells and whistles that came along with it!

They sent me a black machine, These are also available in different colors such as red,white & Blue!

They also sent me a carbonation tank which fits in the back of the machine. There was several sample sized flavors as well as full sized bottles of flavors in the box.

Couldn’t forget the rootbeer, awesome for rootbeer floats!

These machines are easy to find. If you go to Walmarts chances are you have seen these! There is a endless variety of flavors to choose from, including Kool Aid!

My experience with it. what surprised me was it needed no electric. All you do is put your carbonation bottle in the back of the machine, screw a bottle of water on the front of the machine, pump in 2 or 3 pumps of carbonation, then add your flavor. The flavor is very sticky so pour it in cautiously. Poor it in slow or it will come back at you. I was happy a friend warned me of this ahead of time. My intention was to actually video my husband making rootbeer without warning. I was hoping to see him get spewed. I didn’t get to do that though haha.

Another thing is the carbonation. You may want to add extra for more of a fizz. It says 2 pumps on the directions. You really just have to experiment and do it to your taste. that is what makes the machine amazing. I think as far as the taste it is very comparable to a regular can of pop.

This has also been kid tested. My 10 year old niece was over one night and asked for a glass of rootbeer. I gave her a glass from the soda stream and she drank it all. In my opinion this is a great investment for anyone that likes to drink soda.

Hi Darlene. I believe it would be an excellent choice for people with diabetes. THere is so many Diet ones to choose from. I tried diet lemon lime and Diet Grapejuice and they were really good. You are actually controlling the amount of sugar you put in there.
